History of English Literature, Vol.2, Part 2 (From The Fourteenth Century To The Death Of Surrey) by Bernhard Ten Brink, translated from the German by L. Dora Schmitz. The first volume of Bernhard Ten Brink's work reviewed the history of English literature from the ancient hynmic poetry down to "Piers Plowman's Vision." The first part of the second is devoted to Wycliffe and Chaucer, the influence of the Italian Renaissance, and the earliest English drama. Many topics receive from Ten Brink extremely conscientious consideration. His work is thorough, but its merit is principally in the intensity of the art with which it has retraced the influence of the Renaissance in English literature.

The skies darken as Harbinger enters a solar system, dwarfing planets and leaving devastation in its wake. Entire civilizations are cleansed, planets eliminated. The majority of the survivors fill the ship’s work camps. Those less fortunate are released to the laboratories where vicious experiments eventually rid them of their sanity. But a few have escaped and formed an underground society deep within the forgotten levels of the behemoth. Equipped only with what they can scavenge, the denizens of the wastelands must resist the relentless patrols sent for them. A ship this size has many places to hide and much technology to exploit.

As the original was reportedly lost in a fire, we may never know. Chrome Dreams II offers up gorgeous, plaintive laments and country-tinged numbers sung in that achy breaky, heart-on-sleeve voice of Young's, as well as ragged barn-storming rockers delivered with a growl. There's even an 18-minute dirge that excitedly mixes R&B back-up horns with searing electric guitar leads.
